(2) A hearing to contest the validity of the registered order must be requested within 20 days after the date of mailing or personal service of the notice.

(3) Failure to contest the validity of the registered order in a timely manner will result in confirmation of the order and enforcement of the order and the alleged arrearages and will preclude further contest of that order with respect to any matter that could have been asserted.

(4) The amount of any alleged arrearages.
